    In Islam, there are specific guidelines for performing prayers while traveling to make it easier for travelers:

    When to Prayer Short While Traveling?

    Distance: You can shorten prayers only if the travel distance is approximately eight kilometers or more.

    Duration of your Stay:

    Less than Four Days: If you intend to stay in a place for four days or less, you can continue to shorten your prayers.

    More than Four Days: If you plan to stay for more than four days, you must offer your prayers in full, as you take the ruling of a resident.

    Uncertain Duration: If you do not know how long you will stay, you can continue to shorten your prayers regardless of the length of your stay.

    How to Shorten Prayers?

    Shortening Prayers (Qasr): During your journey, you can shorten the four Rakah prayers to two Rakah. Qasr prayer rule applies to Dhuhr, Asr, and Isha prayers.

    Combining Prayers: You may also combine Dhuhr and Asr prayers and Maghrib and Isha prayers. This can be done either at the time of the earlier prayer or the later prayer, depending on what is more convenient for you.

    Specifics on Combining Prayers

    Ease: While combining prayers is allowed, it is recommended to do so only if it is difficult to perform each prayer at its appointed time.

    Congregational Prayers: Prayer in congregation is still obligatory for travelers if they can join a congregation.

    Practical Steps:

    1. During Travel:

    – Shorten Dhuhr, Asr, and Isha prayers to two Rakahs.
    – Combine Dhuhr with Asr, and Maghrib with Isha, if needed.

    2. Upon Arrival:

    – Four Days or Less: Continue to shorten and combine prayers as needed.
    – More Than Four Days: Offer full prayers and perform each prayer at its appointed time.

    3. Congregational Prayers: Strive to pray in congregation at a mosque whenever possible, even while traveling.

    Conclusion:

    Travelers in Islam are allowing us several concessions to ease the performance of our religious duties. By shortening and combining prayers, wiping over socks, and having the option to postpone fasting, travelers can maintain their religious obligations without undue hardship.
